Marriott Kansas City Overland Park review | Kansas

10800 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS 66210

⭐ 2.5 out of 5 Stars

“A stay that started strong… then flushed itself away—literally.”

If you’re looking for a hotel that nails the basics—clean spaces, friendly staff, a comfy bed, and a location that puts you close to food, highways, and life itself—then the Marriott Kansas City Overland Park seems like a solid pick. Emphasis on seems. Because while the building had its charms, my experience took a very unexpected turn in a direction no guest wants to go.

Let’s start with the good news:
The place is clean. The staff? Pleasant, helpful, and ready with smiles. There’s a full restaurant and bar on site—huge win if you’re hungry or just too tired to DoorDash your life away. Starbucks coffee right in the building? Absolutely. Fitness room? Surprisingly spacious. Complimentary snacks for top-tier guests? Yes, please. And the bed? Soft enough to make you consider hitting snooze at least three times.

But… then there were the cons, and these weren’t small.

The trip went downhill the moment I discovered the toilet didn’t work in my room. And here’s the part that should win an award for “Most Unexpected Plot Twist in a Hotel Stay”: they knew the toilet was broken before giving me the room. That’s like handing someone a chocolate chip cookie but forgetting to mention the chips are raisins.

Instead of fixing the issue, the solution was to move me to another room—because nothing says “relaxing hotel stay” like repacking all your stuff and relocating after you’ve already settled in. Huge inconvenience. Major vibe killer.

And as if that wasn’t enough, the suite felt noticeably smaller than other Marriotts—like the hotel version of “we have food at home.”

To top it off, for the price tag attached, you’d expect everything to work flawlessly—especially the plumbing. So yes, the stay delivered on cleanliness and comfort… but it also delivered a storyline I wasn’t ready for.

Final Verdict:

This hotel has potential, but between the price point and the toilet troubles, it lands at a very middle-of-the-road 2.5 out of 5 stars. Still workable, but definitely not the Marriott magic you might be expecting.

Hong Kong buffet review | Orangeburg, Sc

Hong Kong buffet review | Orangeburg, Sc 2034 Columbia Rd, Orangeburg, SC 29118 ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ 3.4 out of 5 Stars Hong Kong Buffet – Orangeburg, SC From an influencer standpoint, Hong Kong Buffet delivers exactly what you expect from a small-town Chinese buffet — and honestly, that’s not always a bad thing. The good: Seating was quick, which is always a win when buffet hunger kicks in. No long waits, no awkward standing by the door wondering if someone forgot you. The buffet line was easy to access and stocked with all the usual crowd-pleasers: General Tso’s chicken, honey chicken, coconut shrimp, and the familiar lineup you see at most Chinese buffets. Nothing exotic, but nothing missing either. Staff interaction was fine — not overly warm, not rude — just there to keep things moving. The not-so-good: This place is definitely showing its age. Seating and tables feel seriously dated, and the lighting is very dim — borderline “romantic dinner” lighting, which isn’t exactly what you expect when s...

Jin Jin Super King Chinese Buffet Review | Panama City Beach Fl

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3.1/5) – Jin Jin Super King Chinese Buffet Review If you're looking for a budget-friendly Chinese buffet that fills you up without emptying your wallet, Jin Jin Super King gets the job done—but don't expect a meal you'll be talking about for days. This buffet offers a mid-sized selection of the classic Chinese buffet favorites most people expect. From fried rice and lo mein to General Tso's chicken and egg rolls, the variety is enough to satisfy most appetites without being overwhelming. The standout dishes during our visit were definitely the pineapple ham, which had a nice balance of sweet and savory flavors, and the sesame chicken, which was one of the better items on the buffet line. Service started off well since we were seated quickly, but things took a turn during the meal. Several buffet items weren't being kept hot enough, which affected the overall experience. The biggest downside, however, was feeling rushed. Our server began clearing plates from t...
